**About the Editor**

**Mostafa Safdari Shadloo** has been actively engaged in the fields of (i) (aero-)hydrodynamics, turbulence, and transitional boundary layers, as well as (ii) multiphase, multiphysics fluid flows and heat transfer for the last 10 years. His expertise is mainly in theoretical and computational fluid dynamics (CFD), but he has also been active in developing validation strategies and guidelines for CFDist. He aims to develop a new-generation, high-order, coupled algorithm for compressible/incompressible fluid flows with complex physical behaviors, relevant for industrial applications. In this framework, he uses high-performance computing (HPC), high-fidelity direct numerical simulations (DNS) and large-eddy simulations (LES) to decipher complex instabilities and flow behaviors caused mainly by multiphase and/or turbulent flows, with heat transfer and compressibility effects.

To summarize, at national, European and international levels, Dr. Shadloo has actively been the PI and Main Participant (MP) in numerous projects dealing with unsteady multi-physics flows, including multidisciplinary modeling, simulation and validation, with an overall budget of more than EUR 4 million. The main outcomes of Dr. Shadloo's research are published in 100 original scientific articles (plus book chapters) in highly prestigious, peer-reviewed journals, and 24 proceedings presented in international peer-reviewed conferences. His citations exceed 4600 and 3800, with an h-index of 41 and 38 at the time of writing, based on Google scholar and Scopus citation reports, respectively.
